Ah, looks like it stops at the rim, that's better then.

I don't mind them and as someone has already mentioned, I could see some sort of "chic" cafe wanting branded ones. You know the type that charges £35.00 for a Nescafe Gold Blend and Chocolate Wafer... Not my bag, but with a bit of clever marketing someone could make some cash on them I suppose.
It seems a gold or silver foil looks quite good on them although this of course isn't sublimation nor dishwasher proof:
Gold/silver foiling wouldn't be too difficult to make dishwasher proof though, just need to add an extra step in the process. Definitely not microwave proof though!!!

Also, as already mentioned, 14oz is a bit too big IMHO.

Yes 14oz is quite large but a good idea regarding cafes. Although cannot see any cafe wanting to place orders for new mugware whilst in lockdown sadly. I would of thought perhaps a personalised mug with a hot choccie sachet and mini marsh mellows inside although from what I remember from doing something a few years ago you need additional insurance if providing food and certainly must be pre-packaged so you don't take the food regulations hit. Wish they would of just got more stock of white mugs in though! :-)

It is as Gary said, marble has been an "in thing" for the past 18 months and mostly with simple initials or text. Black or dark colours is all that is needed and you can add a bit more with extra thought. Probably actually a bit late to the party imo but nice item.

If you are going to do Hot Chocolate then do this sort of thing instead. Its more "fancy smancy" so you can charge more, they go down a storm ;-)

I would expect pre-packed like that and purchased in the UK you wouldn't need any further cover. Nice little spoon that. Is there a bulk supplier for them? Have a supplier for the wrapped footballs and easter eggs etc but that is far nicer.

We didn't and the items were sent worldwide. The only countries we avoided sending chocolates to were hot ones for obvious reasons.

Wouldn't have thought that was a concern since you have joined us in sunny Wales!

I found a company called Hames that does similar stirrers and ordered some samples.
